shared fax from 2003 srv does not work on vista??

I have a 2003 srv with a microsoft shared fax printer that works perfectly
with xp client.
If I connect to this shared fax from vista, it install, but if I send fax it
go to the local fax printer and not go to the fax server .
From printer folders, If I open the linked fax, I always see the local fax
queue and not the server queue.
Why? Is this a bug??
Thank you
Alessandro

When you configured the client software fax account, did you elevate WFS to
run as an administrator?

what's WFS?
NO, I did not elevate.
I've installed the local fax server ( from add remove windows component) and
configured without any problem, the fax from the local fax printer works
fine.
Then I connect to the shared fax printer and I have the two printer fax, one
local, one remote, but it always send fax to the local one

WFS = Windows Fax and Scan. That's the client on Vista. You must run it
elevated when you configure your fax account.

I mean Windows Fax and Scan. That is the fax program you get when you
install from Control Panel > Programs and Features (there is no "Add/Remove"
on Vista besides your claim to the contrary).

Ok,, so yes, I've elevated when I've installed fax and scan.
But the local fax works perfectly, the problem is on the 2003 shared one.

Are you saying you have both an local fax account and a network fax account
and that the latter still does not work? Which is the default?
